Answer:

was a narrow victory for Kennedy.

Explanation:

The presidential election of 1960 in the United States was contested between  John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. In that election, Kennedy had a narrow win, with him securing 303 electoral votes compared to Nixon's 219. He also won the national popular vote by 112,827 votes, and this was a slim margin of 0.17%. The proliferation of unpledged electors has led many to argue that Richard Nixon was supposed to win the national popular vote. He also contested that election with Lyndon B. Johnson who was a senate majority leader.

The fact that he campaigned in the populous states and used good campaign media like the television helped him to reach out to a larger number of voters. He was later assassinated in 1963.

Who is Johnson and why did he say his first amendment rights have been violated ?
Degger [83]
Facts

Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag outside of the convention center where the 1984 Republican National Convention was being held in Dallas, Texas. Johnson burned the flag to protest the policies of President Ronald Reagan. He was arrested and charged with violating a Texas statute that prevented the desecration of a venerated object, including the American flag, if such action were likely to incite anger in others. A Texas court tried and convicted Johnson. He appealed, arguing that his actions were "symbolic speech" protected by the First Amendment. The Supreme Court agreed to hear his case.

Issue

Whether flag burning constitutes "symbolic speech" protected by the First Amendment.

Ruling

Yes.

Reasoning
(5-4)

The majority of the Court, according to Justice William Brennan, agreed with Johnson and held that flag burning constitutes a form of "symbolic speech" that is protected by the First Amendment. The majority noted that freedom of speech protects actions that society may find very offensive, but society's outrage alone is not justification for suppressing free speech.

In particular, the majority noted that the Texas law discriminated upon viewpoint, i.e., although the law punished actions, such as flag burning, that might arouse anger in others, it specifically exempted from prosecution actions that were respectful of venerated objects, e.g., burning and burying a worn-out flag. The majority said that the government could not discriminate in this manner based solely upon viewpoint.

Dissent

Justice Stevens
Writing for the dissent, Justice Stevens argued that the flag's unique status as a symbol of national unity outweighed "symbolic speech" concerns, and thus, the government could lawfully prohibit flag burning.
